EcoChic introduces Miksani

 

by Deborah Miarkowska

EcoChic Collection are delighted to be stockists of the Miksani Spring/ Summer 2010 Collection.

Miksani create stylish, luxury fashion whilst employing socially responsible and ethical business practices. Their garments are manufactured to the highest standards in Nepal, Peru and India and are produced using natural, sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton and silk, banana, alpaca and mohair wool.

Ethics

Miksani believe that fashion doesn’t have to come at a cost to those who make it. That’s why all their  garments are manufactured in World fair trade organisation (WFTO-formerly IFAT) certified producers or those working towards this. Miksani garments are unique and often handwoven, hand knitted and hand printed meaning that artisans in small communities are supported and traditional skills are kept alive.

Fair Trade

Fair trade is a campaign to underline the unethical system of world trade, ensuring that producers receive fair prices which mirror the true costs of production. It helps improve working conditions in factories, promotes fair wages and guarantees that more of the money we spend on garments goes directly to the person who has made it.

Sustainable fabrics

Miksani garments are manufactured to the highest standards in Nepal, Peru and India and are produced using natural, sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton and silk, banana, alpaca wool and mohair wool. This ensures that their garments not only have minimum negative impact on the environment and on the people who make them but are also wonderfully luxurious to wear. Their organic cotton is certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and also by Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO).

Katie Weightman tells us about her journey to form Miksani.

” I graduated from Central St Martin’s in 2005 where I studied Fashion Design with marketing and launched Miksani a few years later. I wanted a clothing company that has no negative impact on the environment or people who make our garments.

Pure Ethical Fashion & true EcoChic style.
